Jalen Brunson and Julius Randleeach scored 30-plus points as the New York Knicks pummelled theWashington Wizards, 121-105, on Saturday night to earn theirfourth-straight win since acquiring OG Anunoby.

Brunson (33 points) and Randle(39 points) led an upstart Knicks squad, who were coming off animpressive 36-point win in Philadelphia last night. New York ledfrom start to finish against a lethargic Wizards squad, improvingto 21-15 on the season.

Anunoby has reinforced thegritty Knicks with his solid on- and off-ball defense, while addinganother dimension to their offense with his three-point shootingand cutting.

This allows the main cogsBrunson and Randle to have more space on offense, resulting inhigh-scoring outputs like in this game.

Isaiah Hartenstein hauled in 19rebounds for the Knicks, and he's been instrumental since MitchellRobinson was deemed out for the season due to injury.

New York now takes solepossession of the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference followingthe Indiana Pacers' loss to the Boston Celtics.

The Wizards, led by Kyle Kuzma’s27 points, dropped to an abysmal 6-29 (which ranks 14th in theEast).
